A Maine Man in Bad Company.

The Boston sympathiZers with 1-ingg and The
rest of his muricrous associates held 'nlemoliai
meeting in New Era Hall last Friday night, and
euogized the men who instigated the attack on the
Chicago police as 'martyrs." Among the speakers
was c. 5. Griffin, a native of Stoc kton, Waldo
county. The Herald report says
Mr.. c. s. Griffin was introduced as a labor man
who was personally acquainted with the dead men
Mr.. Griffin was yisibly affected when he arose Il
address the audience, and he was given Il perfect
ovation. Mr.. Griffin asked for what crime were
these men hanged! simply because they knew thai
there was no need of poverty among those who
were industrious. Mr.. Spies knew, when bespoke
against the present industrial system, that the
moment the capitalists thought the wage slave haG
begun to think, then the men who taught tho
wrong of the system would be hanged. Great APP
plause.
The journal report says:
Mr.. c. S. Griffin of Chicago introduced a. &
companion of that grand martyr, Alfred Parsons
Mr.. Griffin, after the usual denunciationS OF
the processes of law, said that new era had
dawned, but whether it was to come through blood
or civil he could not tell His reference

The Journal In Far Countries,

The Republican Journal goes to subscribers in
all parts of the world and is found in every port

A Practical View.

The temperance question was discussed from
various standpoint> in the pulpits of this city
last Sunday, but mainly, as was natural, upon
moral grounds. There is much to be said on
that side. and it will bear repetition. The
moral sense of most communities no doubt
needs awakening, and on other questions than
temperance. and the pulpit is the place to
preach morality. as well as religion. 1t re-
mains, therefore, for the layman to discuss the
practical side OF this temperance question. 1t
is said that the most sensitive nerve in the
average man is the pocket nerve. Touch that
and YOU rouse him at once. Now it is an easy
matter to show that this rum business touches
the pocket nerve Of every property owner and
every wage Garner.
Ask yourselves what benefit those engaged
in rumselling are to the community. Arc they
not. on the other hand. "A positive evil in more
than one sense and a pecuniary burden as.well:
The money that goes into their pockets in eX-
change for rum would otherwise lind its way
into the legitimate channels of trade. The
business men would not only thus be benefited
but the families of those who have squanderod
their earnings tOi rum would he better 1ed.
clothed and cared for. Pauper>m and crime
would both be decreased, and the burdens of
taxpayers correspondinglv le>>ened. Thus,
leaving out of consideration the fact that rum
selling is an illegal traffic and should bc discount
tenanced byalI lawabiling people. and ignoring,
for the time, the moral phases of this question.
it ought to he clear to everyone that the pc
cuniary interests Of a community call for the
suppression of this unlawful and destructive
traffic.

Of the Republican victory in Massachusetts
Or. George B. Loring said at the dinner of the
Essex Club in Boston Saturday: .:The cleo
ton Of Gov. Ames is the commencement of a
new era of Republican power in Massachusetts.
which will endure SO long as the party is true
to the principles laid down in the platform on
which he was elected, and has the confidence
and support of ali those elements of reform and
good government which have rallied to its sup
port. The Republican party may congratulate
itself and the commonwealth that it has resort
ed to no questionable methods in order to
secure success. No appeal has been made to
temporary factions. never to doubtful and
dangerous interests, never to unworthy motives
to increase the ranks of the party. We have
stood squarely for temperance legislation, for
the amelioration of labor, for the support of
free schools, for public economy, for good gov
eminent as against jobs and corruption, in the
state, and for a protective tariff, a thorough
civil service reform, free and unrestricted suf-
fragc, firm and digntied foreign policy, re-
duction of the surplus revenue, in the nation,
and on this we have Won the victory"
There is general regret at the disaster which
has befallen on. water works on the eve of
their completion, but it is a consolation that no
loss Of life or great destruction Of property
attended the breaking away of the dam, and
that we shall not have to await the rebuilding
of the main dam for a water supply. The
pumping station and all its appurtenances re-
main intact, with supply pipe leading from
the dam at Cold Stream, and this should fur
nish an abundance of water for months to
come and perhaps throughout the year.

A Stock Yard in Maine,

The question of locating stock yard and at
tendant market day in Maine is being discussed
with great deal Of carnestness and its practica
bility and adTisablity is universally acknowledge
ed. At meeting of the State Agricultural Society
last week Trustee Bracket, of this city presented
resolution strongly endorsing and commencing
the movement, which was unanimously supported,
and he was instructed to send copy of the resol-
ton to Manager Tucker of the NJ. c. r. r., which
is the power to decide the question if any success
full result is reached. L. c. Libby, Esq, the great
cattle drover, is also deeply interested and doing
all he can to push the enterprise.
Natural laws would locate such stock yard
near the centre of the State and east of the railroad
junction at Waterville. Bangor and Waterville
both put in claims but neither of them possess so
many favorable points as Burnham, which from its
location and surroundings seems specially adapt
ed for such purpose.

The Farmers Institutes in Stockton and Morrill,.

The Maine Board of Agriculture held two very
interesting Farmers Institutes in this county last
week, one at Stockton Nov Stl, and one at Morrill,
Nov. 9th. "Poultry for Profit" was discussed at
each meeting by DIR. e. NJ. Twitchcll of Readfeld,
and the subject was presented in plain common
sense manner, from practical standpoint. AT
Stockton the remaining program consisted of a
consideration of Business Farming and Dairying
by Secretary Gilbert, and Gardening for the family
and for market by Mr. Tolman, the member from
Knox Co.
At Morrill, Secretary Gilbert discussed Stock
Feeding and the raising of sweet corn for canning
purposes. Prof. Balentine presented a paper up.
on manures and how to make them. In the even
ing DIR. Twitchell delivered a lecture on the Ncces
sites of the Hour. 1t was an able and eloquent
effort, and was listened to with close attention

Several changes i'll the kcnnebec journal cstab-

thing of surprise to read in the journal of Thurs
day last that Mr.. Alden Sprague, for nineteen
years editor and proprietor, had sold out and re-
tired from the paper. The Kennebec journal is
now in entirely new hands MI. Flynt, who holds
oneeighth, is the business manager, and the re-
mainder is owned by the editor, Mr.. e. b. Bur
leigh, son of Hon. E. Z. Burleigh the State Treas
urer. Thirty thousand dollars is said to have been
the price paid for the establishment. Mr. Bur.
leigh is a recent graduate from Bowdon College
and although but twenty three years old has had
considerable newspaper experience. He is, no
doubt, the youngest editor of daily newspaper in
Maine, and we are glad he is to remain and grow
up with his native State rather than follow Gree

to do. So long as the present judge of the Belfast
